Overview

This revision of Bloom's taxonomy is designed to help teachers understand and implement standards-based curriculums. KEY TOPICS: Cognitive psychologists, curriculum specialists, teacher educators, and researchers have developed a two-dimensional framework, focusing on knowledge and cognitive processes. In combination, these two define what students are expected tolearn in school. Like no other text, it explores curriculums from three unique perspectives-cognitive psychologists (learning emphasis), curriculum specialists and teacher educators (C&I emphasis), and measurement and assessment experts (assessment emphasis). This "revisited" framework allows you to connect learning in all areas of curriculum. MARKET: Educators, or others interested in Educational Psychology or Educational Methods for grades K-12.
